>>70624448Honestly, from the point of view of someone that has a major in economics, this affect the whole vtuber industry, specially those that are in the stock market, Cover is also getting negative % on the stock market since December, this make the industry look volatile and just a fad that already passed.
If one look for more information, you can see that most vtubers have lost CCV and VODs views, since late 2022, and is only getting worse, there are obviously some exceptions, but most of them are japanese, the western side is doing like shit, some important small and medium size vtuber corpos are cashing out of this fad, and is just early 2024, this year will be really bad for the vtuber industry, specially the western/EN part.
Anycolor should drop under 3000 yen around the end of March, after they have their shareholder meeting that was postponed even before the whole NijiEN drama.
It wouldn't surprise me if they try to merge the EN branch to the main one like KR, IN and ID.
This whole drama, remember me of the Machinima drama, when regular youtubers realized that they were bigger than their multi-channel network and that they could get 5 times the money alone, I expect a lot of vtubers to go indie just like back then with regular youtubers, and most corpos to die.
